Chapter Summaries

Josh, Garen, Dumbledore, and Fular traveled deeper into Hungary’s Dark Forest after Garen killed a Tree Peak Dragon, which Josh and Garen decided to butcher for meat. Though Fular warned that natural magical interference made escape impossible in the depths, Dumbledore chose to continue, and Fular reluctantly led the group onward.

Hosdena, a centuries-old dragon trapped in a forest, met Josh, Dumbledore, Fular, and their companion after sensing their powerful magic.

The chapter ended with Josh examining the giant eyeball as he continued recounting the Second Era and his family’s origins.

• Hosdena recalled a world called Dragon Island, other intelligent races, and a language that Josh and Garen recognized as their own.

• Hosdena stared at the forming dragon and asked who the voice meant.

• Akathosh agreed to the contract and resurrection attempt, then warned Josh that he would drag him down if Josh broke his word.
